- It was the 1736th ODI in cricket history.
- It was India's 470th and New Zealand's 381st match - 59th between
these two sides. The record now reads : New Zealand 26, India 30,
abandoned 3.
- Umpires DN Pathirana and G Silva were officiating in their 11th and
eighth match respectively.
- Rahul Dravid was playing his 150th match. He became 56th player
overall and tenth Indian to do so.
- Zaheer Khan became second Indian after Debabis Mohanty to claim a
wicket off the first ball of the match when he trapped Matthew
Sinclair LBW. Mohanty had West Indian makeshift opener Ridley Jacobs
caught by Nikhil Chopra at Singapore (Kallang) on September 5,1999. In
addition there have been four instances of an Indian bowler capturing
a wicket off the first ball of the opponent's innings (second innings
of the match).
- Nathan Astle (117) scored his tenth hundred in ODIs in his 135th
match. The hundred was Astle's third against India which equals the
tally of Chris Cairns for New Zealand.
- The hundred was fifth for Astle in his 51st floodlit matchonly one
less than all other Kiwi batsmen have scored in floodlit matches.
Others with hundred in floodlit matches for New Zealand are Stephen
Fleming (2), Matthew Sinclair (2), Chris Harris (1) and Chris Cairns(1).
- Astle, on 26,completed his 2000 runs in `away' matches for New
Zealand. At the end of this match Astle has a tally of 2091 runs from
77 matches. He became 62nd batsman in all and fifth New Zealander
after Martin Crowe (2820 runs in 86 matches), John Wright (2752 in
106),Stephen Fleming (2323 in 89) and Adam Parore (2032 in 90) to do
so. Incidentally India's Sachin Tendulkar with 6712 runs from 183
appearances holds the record of aggregating most runs in a career in
`away' matches.

match as a fielder with South African Jonty Rhodes being alone in
holding as many as five.

margin of runs. New Zealand had beaten India by 108 runs at Dunedin on
March 1,1990 and by 99 runs at Nagpur on November 26,1995.
- Nathan Astle was winning his 17th Man of the Match award. He is now only three away of Martin Crowe's New Zealand record of 20 MoM awards.
